The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera is the latest camera accessory from
Raspberry Pi. It offers higher resolution (12 megapixels, compared to 8
megapixels), and sensitivity (approximately 50% greater area per pixel for
improved low-light performance) than the existing Camera Module v2, and
is designed to work with interchangeable lenses in both C- and CS-mount
form factors. Other lens form factors can be accommodated using third-party
lens adapters.
The High Quality Camera provides an alternative to the Camera Module v2
for industrial and consumer applications, including security cameras,
which require the highest levels of visual fidelity and/or integration with
specialist optics. It is compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi computer
from Raspberry Pi 1 Model B onwards, using the latest software release from
www.raspberrypi.org.1
The package comprises a circuit board carrying a Sony IMX477 sensor,
an FPC cable for connection to a Raspberry Pi computer, a milled aluminium
lens mount with integrated tripod mount and focus adjustment ring, and a C- to
CS-mount adapter.
